Leo Racmoor paused and looked longing
" ut the little group, with the agrleved ex-
preston of n man whose bodily presence
was denied where his heart belonged. He
had made every effort TO be on friendly
terms with his cousins family, but found
himself decidedly repulsed. Richard had
commanded that none of his household
should recognize him in any way whatever;
and woe be unto the one who dared to dis
obey any of his commands.
Leo h d met Ruth time and again, and
despite her silence and coldness, insisted
upon being friendly with her; and one day
he awoke to tho unaccountable fact, that
the sylph like girl with her wild rose face
and tender blue eyes, had enthroned herself
in his heart. He was not the man to hang

Wien she recovered consciousness she
was lying upon lounge in the well remem
bered library, with Ter old bousekeeper
chafng her cold hands, aud Leo hopping
* itedly about suggesting every known
remedy almost simultaneously.
Leo had fought intrepldly upon the plains
of Egypt. had cooIly exposed his towering
form as a target for the followers of the
False Prophet and fought the tigers in their
native Indian jungles, but never before had
he been called upon to superintend the re-
storing OF a young lady from faintlng
spell. lie had vague kind of feeling thnt
il was the hardest job he had undertaken |
yet, and as remedy after remedy failed in
accustomed power. ami Ruth still lay white |
AID moiioBleSs, h. clutchsd wildly at his
close-cut hair while perspirat on streamed
from every pore.
